The line of destiny has many names: most commonly the fate line, but also the Saturn line, career line, line of luck, line of achievement, or the life task line. Generally, this line begins at the bottom of the palm and ends at the Saturn mount (the finger mount underneath your middle finger). Because Saturn is the ruler of duty, work, and security, it is indicative of the role career and responsibility will play in a person's life. Palmists look to the fate line to determine the direction of life, your control over it, and the ambition to achieve your goals.
